I think it price changes have been obvious since the end date for the stamp duty holiday was known.
The stories of a cooling market seem to be written by "everyone" that is prospective buyers, estate agents or clickbait merchants. So personally I think it's bs.
All the local solicitors haven't been taking any new clients for about two months. That can't be helping the movement of market, I don't think that means price falls though.
Think the market is going to be funny until the 30th, then people will re-decide what houses are worth (probably no difference).
There are so many stories about the market "cooling" after the 30th at the moment it's mad. I don't see it personally, but then I'm fortunate that I've exchanged and complete on Friday.
